PHYSCIAL EDUCATION

MUSIC

Our Music Program fosters an appreciation of music as students experience different song forms and music of different cultures, including classical, pop, and folk music. Following a listening map and learning how to follow musical notation through music symbols is also part of the musical learning experience.

​

In addition, all classes prepare for our weekly liturgy by learning traditional and contemporary songs of our Catholic faith. Students also prepare and participate in the all-school Christmas pageant.

  • New this year, our 3rd grade students will learn the basics of playing a recorder.

  • Kindergarten through 4th grade students have music twice per week.

  • Pre-K & 5th-8th grade students attend music once per week.

ART

Our Art Program is considered a Progressive Education special class, as we believe students learn best through active participation in their creative process. This approach helps them become more well-rounded individuals.
